Whether it's your hobby or your livelihood, crafting requires space. A well thought-out "play" room of one's own reaps its many rewards. Organize your workroom around decorating solutions that do double duty without doubling the volume, too. Designate stations for supplies. This will help your space run efficiently. And prioritize counter space. Keep frequently used tools and materials in open containers, and relegate sparkles, spangles, and fluff to their dedicated shelves and marked boxes.

First things first: Anchor the room with a good-size, centrally located work station. John Boos' stainless-steel table is the primary piece here. Its 40-inch height satisfies the crafter's desire to stand or sit. Two accommodating storage pieces are placed on opposite walls, their surface areas maximized: Broyhill's pantry cabinet supports a wooden catchall; a vintage unit touts a ribbon memo holder. Molding from New England Classic adds architectural charm, while also serving as an accommodating perch for finished projects. Furnishings on wheels make sense. Chiasso's acrylic nesting tables and Romanoff Products' plastic bins have rollers to ease relocation.
